PEREZCaixabank, which has informed its customers of the changes in September, and of the mortgage situation with the rise in the Euribor, has warned its customers of the importance of carefully reviewing payments made by credit card.The entity has wanted to detail the risks to avoid and how to act in certain situations so that they are not scammed.Caixabank points out that "when paying in a store, try not to lose sight of your credit card, especially if you are in a foreign country."For example, instead of letting them take your card to make the charges, whenever possible it is better to do it in person or to be present at the time of collection.“In this way, you will prevent someone from copying the number of the card or trying to duplicate it to later make purchases without your authorization.If the POS asks you to enter the PIN of the card, do it in such a way that nobody sees what you type, "warns the entity.To this we must add the convenience of frequently reviewing the movements and status of your bank account, in order to detect if there has been any improper charge or fraudulent use of the card.Caixabank offers a series of recommendations to bank customers:-When buying online, do it only on trusted sites and always keep certain precautions: "Verify the legitimacy of the website and be wary of those in which errors appear," recommends Caixabank.-When you go to pay, whether on a website or in an establishment, always check that the amount being charged is correct before allowing the payment.-"Avoid using public access Wi-Fi networks to make purchases online and do not click on links that have come to you by SMS or instant messaging inviting you to irrefutable offers," warns Caixabank.Doing this can prevent your device from being infected with malware capable of stealing your bank details.From Caixabank they also recommend using, whenever possible, the smartphone or smart watches to make payments, since the Google Pay, Apple Pay or Samsung Pay platforms use a virtual card different from the real one, so they are "one of the safer ways to make your purchases.
